I am currently running FBSD 8.3-STABLE on a production server that provides http, dns, smtp, and so on for a small domain. This is not a high arrival rate environment but it does need to be rock solid (which FBSD 4-8 have been).
I am contemplating moving to the FBSD 9 family. Is this branch ready for production or should I wait a while yet? I ordinarily avoid x.0 releases of anything and I know 9.1 is soon going to be with us. In a related note, if I do move to 9.x is it sufficient to grab the appropriate source tree and compile world and kernels, install and reboot? That is, it is reasonable to do an in-place upgrade. This is how I migrated 4->6, 6->7, and 7->8 and I am hoping this is till the case since a complete reinstall is painful and slow.
